Post your favorite watch that does NOT have any lume!
I usually like lume on a watch but this piece was too bad ass to pass up. Got it for 25% off and it’s COSC certified!
The small seconds adds a nice visual interest and the polished bezel while having the rest of the case be brushed just makes it to me feel incredibly premium.
Tissot hit it out of the park this one. People say a no-date would be nice but I think it’s useful and I like the slight part of non-symmetrical design due to it.

Date ruins it for me TBH, lovely otherwise.
I believe I don't actually own anything that's not got lume. Strange, I'm not a lume nut like many are.

Wow, love that Tissot! 🎯
Some no lume pieces that I love:

What is this lume of which you speak?
I’m expecting to see a lot of Grand Seikos on this post.

It’s a great watch…for me woud be perfect with 100 WR. Enjoy it!!! Nobody talks about this piece but for me, is much better than the PRX.
Imho, requiring lume is overrated. Seriously and honestly... how many of those who require it, and make it a deal breaker if a watch has little or no lume, really really need lots of lume because they constantly look at their watch during the day?... or because they have poor eyesight and need the lume to tell time?
My hunch is that small subset of "lume-requirers" are generally the enthusiast / collector type, and NOT the general population of watch owners. My second hunch is that only around 5%... or even say 1 out of 10, of that enthusiast/ collector subset, really need it because they constantly are looking at their watch at night, most likely working the night shift, or because are generally in a dim or dark environment.
My final hunch also tells me, requiring good lume is just an overly magnified preference, akin to a child being mesmerized by a new toy, or a "fun" aspect of a toy. Or, it's being captivated by "bling", but in this case, the lume is a more male-suited kind, without the sparkly jewels and stones.
Cheers!
Also a Tissot, but a discontinued model. Sometimes no lume is better than poor lume. This dial is so perfect that I honestly would want any.
Also the way lume looks in daylight is never what I want. I can always see the tint of blue or green from the glow, and it’s unappealing. I see it with Rolex a lot. The indexes on the sub look almost blue in daylight to my eyes.
